Title: STS-32 FEA Honeywell In-Space Accelerometer (HISA) 
 
Description: 
 
Tabletop view shows Honeywell In-Space Accelerometer (HISA), a 3-axis  
microgravity accelerometer instrument, to be used in conjunction with the  
Fluids Experiment Apparatus 3 (FEA-3) onboard Columbia, Orbiter Vehicle 
(OV)  102, during STS-32. HISA will measure oscillating and transient 
accelerations  over a range of 10 micro-g to 10 milli-g and a frequency 
band of 0.025 to  19.5 Hz.  These accelerations are critical parameters for 
certain materials  processes and come from such sources as: crew activity, 
propulsion systems,  attitude control systems, and payloads.
